Explanation: In 2006 this measure reports results for only the Basic Support Payments. The previous measure combined results for both Basic Support Payments and Children with Disabilities. When a district is overpaid under Section 8003 it is most likely that they are overpaid in both 8003 (b) and 8003 (d). As a result the data are likely to be the same in both instances.
